@bert_hubert I think this can use some extra attention: The .be registry wants to leave AWS and has created an RFP with lots of details of what they need. I think this could be the first sheep over the dam. I hope you can bring extra attention to this and a precedent can be created.

Station security chief T'xtrt looked at the Humans going into the meeting hall next to the bar.
"One day you'll have to explain Human religion to me."
Thelma, the barkeep, shrugged. "Not sure it was wise to bring it with us."
"Anyway, I came to ask what you are. The records show you've run this bar for centuries. Humans don't live that long."
"I came with the humans."
"Yes. The records show that, too."
Thelma smiled. "Where humans can go, so can their gods."

The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.
The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".
It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

"Can you break a curse?"
"Depends," said the witch. "How was it phrased?"
"May you always roll a natural twenty."
"Damn!" The witch was appalled. "What did you do? Nevermind, I already know."
"Please! I can't enjoy the game anymore!"
"No, I can't imagine you could. But I'm not the one to ask."
@grumpygamer I am confused to the point where I don't want to know.
Have fun!
